about connect4
Eighteen years. One firm. One person.
I founded Connect4 Consulting in 2008 because I kept seeing the same problem: marketing firms, design firms, and web designers all working independently, none of them talking to each other, and small businesses and nonprofits paying the price for that disconnection.
The name Connect4 reflects what I set out to fix — uniting the four core areas that have to work together for a digital presence to actually perform: marketing, communications, design, and technology. In 2008 that was a relatively novel idea. In 2026 it’s simply how good digital work gets done.
I have an MBA in Marketing and Global IT Management. More practically, I’ve spent eighteen years solving real problems for real organizations — learning what works, what doesn’t, and what questions to ask before touching anything. I’m based in Takoma Park, MD, and work with clients across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
When you work with Connect4, you work with me.
I’m not an agency. There’s no account manager between you and me, no junior developer handling your project while I’m off pitching someone else. When you work with Connect4, you work with me — someone who takes the time to understand your business, speaks plain English, and is genuinely invested in your results.
Connect4 is the right fit if…
✓
You’re a small business owner or nonprofit director who takes your digital presence seriously but doesn’t want to manage it yourself.
✓
You want one trusted partner who understands both the technical and the strategic side — not a rotating cast of specialists
✓
You value honest communication over jargon, and clear reporting over vague reassurances.
✓
You’re thinking long term — not just about launching a site, but about keeping it working for years
Connect4 may not be the right fit if you’re looking for the lowest possible price, a quick turnaround with no ongoing relationship, or a large agency with a deep bench of specialists. I’m one person, and I’m selective about who I work with — because the relationships that work best are the ones where we’re genuinely invested in each other’s success.

“Gabe Seiden and Connect4 Consulting helped me do a full-scale and full-service redesign of an old WordPress website… 300+ articles needed to be migrated and reformatted; 25+ custom page layouts created; 3,000+ photos migrated. Other firms I contacted wanted to charge me much more… Gabe worked diligently and patiently on my complex project. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabe and Connect 4 Consulting.”

“Gabe Seiden of Connect4Consulting has done excellent work for me, including the creation and maintenance of a fine website. Currently he is working with expertise and imagination on marketing and promoting my forthcoming book. His services are performed above and beyond expectation.”

“Gabe at Connect4 Consulting has been just great for my small business. I manage several websites and I know just enough to update them and make them functional, but Gabe handles all of the tasks that are beyond my skill level. I no longer need to worry about one of my sites becoming dysfunctional due to my lack of knowledge and/or skill. Thank you Gabe and Connect4 Consulting!”
